(22) 2014 - crosses blanket, update -

The thing is... I really really like it still, so I have no excuses, no reasons, no explanations to 'why' I haven't finished it yet. To why I knit a square and then put it away for months.

The mind works in mysterious ways, right?

A couple of days ago I came across it again and decided to knit up another square. Why not?

Why not indeed...

I'm using cream sock wool held double on 4mm needles. The crosses are knit with one strand of left over sock yarn and one strand of the cream yarn. The result is a wonderful dense but soft layer of warmness. (Yes it's a word. From now on anyway).

(And yes, I took a picture of the reverse side, doh, but I guess I so giddy the sun was finally out this morning I wasn't concentrating!)

Once this is finished I'll have 5 squares.

Ahem.

Not quite enough.

All blue I know, but I have some greens and pinks and greys to use up too, so in the end it'll be colourful.
